Press photographs of “grandad” John Harrison serving his last customer in his Crotona sweet shop on North Street (next door to the Keighley News offices), taken on 26th September 1981. Harrison was retiring and his final customer is Donna Leighton. The story was covered in the Keighley News of 2nd October 1981.
In 2021, Keighley and District Local History Society acquired an extensive collection of photograph negatives taken by the Keighley News. Groups of negatives were held in small wallets with the date and basic labelling written on the wallet. The main photograph was taken around 1980 and is from the personal collection of Allan Smith. Allan and his father Alex had the foresight to take photographs at various points through Keighley’s history.
